In his first preseason game as a pro, former Louisville star Lamar Jackson played as many could have expected after the Baltimore Ravens selected him with the No. 32 overall pick in the NFL draft. He made a few dazzling moves, and showed some flaws that he'll work on improving.

Jackson played the entire second half and led one touchdown drive in the Ravens' 17-16 win. In his first series, he scrambled twice for five yards as Baltimore went three-and-out. He answered that with a touchdown pass, an 8-yarder to fellow first-round pick Hayden Hurst.

But the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner was inconsistent for most of the rest of the night. He threw an interception on a comeback route on the next drive, and a sack ended the following series after three plays. Jackson took three sacks, though in the NFL's first preseason game of the season he was playing with a makeshift offensive line.

The Ravens punted three more times in the fourth quarter but held onto a one-point lead. Jackson took a knee three times to end the game. He finished 4-for-10 for 33 passing yards with eight carries for 25 rushing yards.
